-KR1 if i remember correctly was the prototype, or atleast very limited number of plans were produced. The KR2 incorporated improvements based on experiences with the KR1. Bear in mind that although the KR2 is said to be a 2 seater it's not really practical as such, a little on the 'cosy side'.
I'm not sure if the KR1 is/was approved by PFA or not.
It's build is along very similar lines to the WAR replicas, wooden box covered in foam and glassfibre.
I have some pics of a KR2 from years ago when I was helping out on a build if they are of any interest.

-Yes I'd be interested.
I think the KR2 was a development of the KR1, and the KR1 was not a prototype or one-off, as there have been rather a lot of the smaller planes built, mostly with VW engines.
I've even seen a KR1 done up as a Mustang...!

I'm guessing the shadow under the wing is hiding its 'Fred Flintstone' propulsion system! :D

Just out of curiosity, but can anyone tell me why there are no Rand KR1s in the UK, but several KR2s??
